Ingredients

For the pecan filling

1 pound unsalted chopped pecans
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup water
1 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup light brown sugar packed
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 large eggs
4 teaspoons vanilla extract

Assembly

16 ounce boxed brownie mix
1 cup unsalted butter melted

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°, grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
Place pecans into the baking dish in a single layer and set aside.
1 pound unsalted chopped pecans
Place the butter into a small saucepot over medium heat, let butter melt. Add the flour and whisk to combine, cook for 2 minutes.
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Slowly add in the water while whisking continuously, cook an additional 2 minutes.
1 cup water
Add the maple syrup, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Stir to combine until the brown sugar is melted, about 30 seconds. Take off the heat and let cool 5 minutes.
1 cup maple syrup, 1/2 cup light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon salt
Place the eggs in a medium-size bowl with the vanilla and whisk until well beaten.
4 large eggs, 4 teaspoons vanilla extract
Add about 1 tablespoon of the syrup mixture into the eggs while whisking continuously, do this about 5 more times to temper in the eggs.
Add the remaining syrup mixture and stir to combine. Pour everything over the pecans.
Dump the brownie mix over the pecan filling, smooth it out into an even layer.
16 ounce boxed brownie mix
Pour the cup of butter all over the top, make sure all of the brownie mix is moistened.
1 cup unsalted butter
Bake for 35-40 minutes, the center might be very slightly jiggly. Let cool 10-15 minutes and serve.

Notes

This is best served warm, however you can serve it cooled as well.
Make sure to let it cool for about 10-15 minutes before serving so center can set up a little bit.
You want your cobbler to be slightly jiggly in the middle before taking out of the oven.
You can substitute vanilla bean paste with vanilla extract 1:1
Use real maple syrup for this recipe and not pancake syrup.
You can use pecan halves or chopped pecans, that is your preference.
